Britney and Ellen Victims of Hacking

Hackers broke into Britney Spears and Ellen DeGeneres’s Twitpic accounts over the weekend, spreading false information about the stars.  The hackers even went so far to claim that Britney had passed away.   The fake message read “Britney has passed today. It is a sad day for everyone. More news to come.”

Twitpic is looking into who did the hacking and how they can prevent future issues. They had to temporarily shut down the entire website for a brief time over the weekend to fix the problems caused by hackers.

Twitpic is a website that allows Twitter users to post pictures.  Apparently the hackers were able to get into the system because of a “vulnerability” in the system.
